Conclusions and Future Work

Abstract

In this book, we have discussed maritime communications based on RL to enhance reliability and security performance, including IRS-aided communications, privacy-aware IoT communications, intelligent resource management, and location privacy protection (Jo and Shim, IEEE Access 7:53,172–53,181, 2019; Zeng et al., IEEE Trans. Comm. 69:8100–8115, 2021; Guan et al., IEEE Comm. Mag.59:117–123, 2021; Zhu et al., IEEE Netw. 36:26–33, 2022). The RL-based IRS communication system chooses the IRS elements and optimizes the signal amplitude and/or phase to enhance the anti-jamming performance with higher received signal strength or improve the secure data rates with cooperative friendly jamming. The maritime communication systems apply RL to optimize the power and spectrum resource allocation to guarantee the QoS in terms of both security and reliability. In addition, learning-based privacy-aware offloading and location privacy protection satisfies the privacy-preserving requirements of maritime ships or sensors.
